Hudson Spheric Bur 16.0mm

Clinical Application

A spheric bur with a 16.0 mm cutting head provides a broad, rounded cutting surface optimized for controlled bone removal and contouring. This instrument is used in procedures that require creation or enlargement of bone recesses and burr holes, smoothing bone edges, shaping calvarial or facial bone, and removing thin cortical bone during craniofacial, neurosurgical, ENT and certain orthopedic procedures. The spherical geometry is helpful when creating rounded cavities or when smoothing transitions between bone surfaces without producing sharp ledges.

Design & Configuration

The spherical (ball) head geometry allows multidirectional cutting along the curvature of the head, enabling surgeons to work across contours and to refine rounded surfaces efficiently. A 16.0 mm diameter provides a large working surface for rapid material removal compared with smaller burs, reducing operative time for tasks such as enlarging burr holes or contouring graft sites. The Hudson designation indicates compatibility with Hudson-style surgical power handpieces, providing secure drive engagement and predictable rotational performance. Clinically, the geometry reduces the tendency to catch or snag on bone edges and helps produce smooth, consistent contours when used with appropriate cutting speeds and irrigation.
